Before you proceed, please READ.

This story that I made (that is adapted from the song ECHO by Crusher P with Circus P) is just made from my weird imagination. It is just my interpretation of the song and I am not forcing anyone to agree with it.

So, yeah. It's also my first time here so please take care of me. ^_^V

Enjoy.

Gumi's P.O.V.

I sat in my grayscale room, pondering for something to do. The old television across my bed is currently presenting a channel about nonsense that I won't even bother to know.

There wasn't anything on my room that much that might trigger your interest, really.

There was a bed near the window, and there was a fan at the feet of it, it was making some noises signifying the life of it. Like what I said, across my bed is a television. Beside it is a mirror.

To the farther side is a black, wooden door which I have not yet used for years. You wonder? I'm always here... at my room... alone.

"You are not alone..." Someone spoke. Oh, it was Megumi, my friend.

She had pitch black hair, compared to mine, which is turning white for unknown reasons. I'm not old though, but I'm sure I'm not young either. I don't even know how old am I, for I don't care because that thing doesn't give me much benefit.

I nodded. "Yeah..."

Megumi smiled a bit and grabbed the gray comb from the TV's table. I watched her with blank eyes as she sat beside me, combing my hair.

"My... Gumi, you have such unruly hair. You should probably take a bath." She commented.

"Why? What for? I can't go out, I'm trapped here, in this ugly room, so why bother taking a bath?" I frowned at her.

She giggles. "Oh, you're right. Where are your parents?"

Gumi's Mother's P.O.V.

"Hiro?" Ayumi, Gumi's Mother called out for her husband.

"Yes, dear?" The father didn't look up from reading the daily news.

"You have to hear this." Ayumi whispered to him frantically. This time, the so called father of Hiro stood up and approached the black door where Ayumi's standing.

"Lean closer to the door." Ayumi instructed. Hiro nodded and his expression changed, hearing his daughter talking to someone.

"Who is she talking to?" He asks his wife. "I don't know, that's why I called you here!"

They decided to open the door and ask Gumi, so they did.

"Gumi, are you alright? Who are you talking to?"

"Me? Oh, yes, I am fine. And maybe you heard the television, not me."

"Oh... Alright. Just knock on the door if you need us, okay?"

"Wait. Dad, can I go to school this year?" Gumi asks her father reluctantly. His expression changed.

"Gumi, you know hat's the answer. You need to be home-" But before Hiro could continue his sentences, Ayumi spoke.

"Of course, darling. You will be going to school this coming June." Ayumi shot Hiro a look that says "We'll talk about this later." Before going off.

Back to Gumi's P.O.V.

"YES!" I jumped at my bed, rejoicing with Megumi.

Because now, I'm finally free!

I got over to my closet, and peered at a huge box that contains my collection.

I opened it and grinned for a thought had crossed my mind.

I closed it once again, before Megumi was now behind me.

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'll be taking a bath. And for the first time in years, I'll be out there in the colorful world!"

"Gumi, you know that you can't-"

"Hush now, Mom said so!"

"But she didn't say that you can go o-" Before she could finish her sentence, Gumi was now in her bathroom, taking a bath.

There ya go.

So, a lot of mysteries will arise and revelations will also come up. This is only a short story, don't worry.
